syrupier
Sweeter and stickier
Syrupier is the comparative form of syrupy, meaning more like syrup in consistency or sweetness.
A sauce that's been reduced becomes syrupier as it thickens.
The word extends to anything excessively sweet or sentimental: The movie got syrupier as it went on, until I couldn't take it anymore.
